This hike ended up being very difficult for us. We went in January, after the snow had fallen and after the trails had become extremely icy. We slipped our way to the top (I admittedly went over halfway and turned around out of frustration and a bad knee) and slid the whole way down. If we had yak tracks, this hike would have been completely doable. Almost everyone else had them and didn't seem phased by the slippery conditions. However, we weren't told how icy it would be and didn't want to back down from the challenge once we started. I was told the views were worth it at the top! I'd like to return in the spring when it's not icy.
